It has been brought to our attention recently that there has been some inappropriate behavior going on in the chat room.

While you may think that you are in the chat room by yourself or with another very trusted friend and you are the only ones in there, your conversation can be viewed by others. Any member can enter the chat room and can use a simple command to view the anything typed recently in the chat room. So let me assure you that while you may think that the messages you type disappear when you exit the chat room.....they don't. This is the same with many chat rooms and IM systems on the Internet.

The chat room is not monitored regularly by Admin, but we do have the ability to pull chat transcripts to check on reported problems. So we have been able to confirm that the inappropriate behavior is going on as well as who has been involved. So consider this the only warning that you will receive.

Remember that the guidelines that apply to the message boards also apply to the chat room. From this point on, any violation of the guidelines in the chat room will result in disciplinary action.

So please be respectful of the chat room environment. Remember it is for paranormal discussion. There are plenty of other chat rooms outside of Ghostvillage in which you can "carry on".
